Default Need help!

In our garden there's a bleak wall I'd like to cover up by planting a climber. It's in shade part of the day. Any suggestions? The climber can be planted directly into the soil of the flowerbed that's at the base. So I just literally need ideas of what to plant! Thank you

You are in the UK? is the wall part of the house or separate? Is it wood
fencing, brick and mortar, or something elese? Makes a difference in what
you may want to do. Some for example will damage a mortar add brick wall (or
stone and mortar) but do well on wood fences.

Assuming that ideally you would want an evergreen, I would suggest you plant Hydrangea seemannii, its a vigorous, evergreen, self clinging climbing hydrangea with large glossy attractive leaves and the usual creamy white, lace-cap like summer flowers and originates from Mexico but is quite hardy in the UK.
best wishes Lannerman

Yes I am in the Uk. and It's wood, and it's part of my fence. Although me and my neighbour are right next to each other we don't share a fence so it wouldn't make any difference to him.
